I have looked into VideoStudio9 and the book tells me that I have to go to Windows Audio Mixer to adjust volume on microphone. I have a standard Home Windows XP and cannot for the life of me see anything that says Audio Mixer. I tried going into the control panel/microphone to adjust volume and there is still poor sound quality with much feedback. Any advice anyone could lend me would be great.

look at the lower right hand corner of your screen...check to see if you have an icon symbol of a speaker. If you do...right click on it..and see the different options you have...

Try:
1.
Open Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel.
2.
On the Audio tab, under Sound recording, click Volume.
3.
In the Recording Control dialog box, drag the Volume slider for the appropriate device up or down to increase or decrease the input volume.

Scott --

I too had much trouble with microphone into computer. So I've not used that method. I'm now using a little mp3 player which has voice recorder, pretty good quality .WAV files. I go away from the computer, because though quiet its sound does register. Sit in a quiet room with my video playing muted on the TV. And record my comments as I see the footage. Then it's just a matter of transferring the audio file to the computer and putting it into the voiceover track.

You could also speak into your camcorder mic, or attach a mic to your camcorder if it allows it, then import that into VS just as you do video.
